This feature may be offered as a standard or optional feature and is not
available on all Pitney Bowes solutions. Please contact your local account
representative to determine if this option is accessible on your system.
Use this option if you want the system to automatically weigh and print a
tape as soon as you place a piece of mail on the scale.
Before using this weighing option:
Make sure each piece of mail weights at least as much as the amount
specified as the differential trip weight during the installation of your
mailing system. For more information, refer to the Set Up the Scale/
Select Rates:Diff Weigh Trip Weight section in Chapter 5 in this guide.
1. Set the scale to zero by pressing the Menu key, then selecting Zero
Scale.
2. Press the Mode key.
3. Select Attached Scale - AutoTape.
4. The “Print Tape Automatically” screen appears.
5. Place each piece, one at a time on the scale.
CAUTION: Make sure you center the mail on the scale and
check to be sure it is not touching any other surface or object.
CAUTION: Do not lean on or touch the scale since the system
will interpret this as a piece of mail and will deduct postage.
The system prints a tape every time you place another piece of mail on
the scale.
